The Wolverhampton based firm of John Marston Ltd. earned fame for their superb bicycles at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. At the end of 1913 the 3½HP model was launched, this model would make the Sunbeam name world famous. Nickel plating on Sunbeams was kept to a bare minimum, with all other parts enamelled in black. The enamel was of superb quality, and many vintage Sunbeams still have their original factory finish today. This followed John Marston’s dictum of the best possible quality allied to the best possible specification on any machine.

This c.1916 Sunbeam 3½HP model is from The Fred Evans Collection and is on record with the Marston Sunbeam Register. Purchased by the late vendor some time ago as a restored machine, the Sunbeam has formed part of his collection and has not been used on the road for a few years. It has been run from time to time whilst it has been stood. A 'ride or restore' machine and sold without documentation, with the help from the Marston Sunbeam Club, an age-related number could be applied for.
